Description
Chocolate for breakfast is already a win in my book, but these High Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats make it feel smart too. This easy recipe is creamy, rich, filling, and perfect for meal prep. I make it for a quick breakfast, healthy snack, post-workout meal, and easy food prep idea when mornings get hectic. With oats, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, cocoa, and protein powder, it turns simple pantry staples into one of my favorite breakfast ideas and high protein breakfast options.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups milk
3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/3 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 scoops chocolate protein powder
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Instructions
1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
2. Stir in the rolled oats and chia seeds until everything is evenly combined.
3. Fold in half of the mini chocolate chips and save the rest for topping.
4. Divide the mixture evenly into 2 jars or airtight containers.
5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
6. Stir before serving and add a splash of milk if you want a looser texture.
7. Top with the remaining mini chocolate chips and serve cold.
Notes
For the creamiest texture, use rolled oats instead of quick oats or steel-cut oats.
If your protein powder is already sweet, reduce the maple syrup slightly so the flavor stays balanced.
